“Payroll taxes fund social insurance programs, including Social Security and Medicare, and are a large source of revenue for the federal government. “Hankerson willfully disregarded his tax obligations for many years,” Erskine said in an emailed statement, according to AJC. Having just come off a successful stateside tour with the Indigo Girls over the summer, Larkin Poe will kick off autumn with its Blood Harmony Tour across Europe, playing numerous gigs in Scandinavia, Germany, France, the UK and more throughout October and early November.Hankerson, who is the former owner of Atlanta-based Gladys Knight’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant, reportedly failed to fully remit more than $650,000 state sales and withholding taxes, which after penalties and interest totals more than $1 million, due from at least 2012 to 2016. The Georgia-born, Nashville-based sister duo Megan and Rebecca Lovell put their twangy, melancholy slide guitar spin on the tune, a track that also features musicians Will Lee and Shawn Pelton. Pianist and band leader Basie originally recorded this tune in 1938, and it has enjoyed covers through the years from such luminaries as Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett. Larkin Poe ’s latest comes by way of Late Night Basie, a recent tribute album to the late jazz legend Count Basie, featuring other contributions from modern-day musicians like hip-hop artist Talib Kweli and New Orleans brass band The Soul Rebels. :: Larkin Poe - ‘Blue and Sentimental’ (Count Basie tribute) This latest album, LVL5, dropped in February and contains her most complex collection of creative work to date. In various interviews, the 20-year-old has cited her dad’s career as a rapper - he was in the group Planet X - as the early inspiration to pursue hip-hop professionally. So in that grand tradition, Bktherula and YoungBoy join forces for this second part in a two-part ode to people who probably shouldn’t be together but, by gum, they’re gonna try.Ī versatile artist who can dip into psychedelia and party ragers in equal measure, Bktherula, aka Brooklyn Rodriguez, has been a rising star since her 2020 debut, Love Santana. Think classics like John Cougar Mellancamp’s “Hurt So Good,” Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor” and Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” Heck, a lot of the Beatles’ catalog falls into this category. Some of our greatest bops have been pledges of fealty to the deeply dysfunctional. Is there any better song fodder in the world than a toxic, utterly chaotic relationship? We think not. It’s a big moment for the group, one which they recently committed to memory on their social media, posting: “And thanks to our friends and to atlanta (sic) for inspiring us to write these songs.
This newer, fuller record was co-produced, recorded and mixed by Drew Vandenberg, who has worked with their fellow local singer-songwriter Faye Webster, along with acts such as Toro y Moi. Still relatively new to Atlanta’s indie music scene, Kibi James started out in 2018, releasing their debut EP Azúcar first in 2019 and then with a reissue in 2021 (which we covered here ). As the three friends and musicians - Mari on guitar and keys, MJ Corless on bass and Pomi Abebe on drums - float through various scenes of chaos, they declare a wish to “surrender to all of the colors.” And, thanks to some inventive direction and animation by Rebecca Shenfeld and striking cinematography by Ian Cone, they’re able to do just that.
Dream-pop triumvirate Kibi James gives us a surreal and entertaining spin on the wild partying of youth via its new single from the band’s first full-length album, delusions, which dropped on August 25.
